When I discovered Hiphop as an 8 year old kid in Singapore, I never knew I would one day pursue a life through music, let alone work with my musical heroes like Pharrell, The Game and Grammy winning producer Che Vicious (Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, 50 Cent, Kanye West). Winning the award for best collaboration means so much. It embodies not only cultures and musical genres colliding, but it represents a dream fulfilled for me. It brings together my life in LA (Pharrell, The Game, Che Vicious), Toronto (Isis Salam, DJ Dopey) and now brings it home to Asia.

To receive it from a South East Asian based awards is a blessing as I begin my journey now to take all that I have learned from my life in the West and return to my roots in the East, spreading a universal message of independence, freedom and creativity. I hope through my example as an artist, ERRRYBODY can feel brave to pursue a dream no matter how unlikely or absurd. This award truly illustrates that in life, anything is possible. Like the song says… Represent where you come from, Bang pon the system – make enough noise and the world will hear you!

One day, what we are building today will be called the good ol' days, foundation times, imagining what's possible. One day, we will remember when we first met, shared a laugh and skank to a Reggae song. A time where we would all hold a vibe and feel nice in the heart of Singapura city. This is our meditation: "Together, good vibes can grow." Photos Sadat & Masia One

2am I sit up in my bed and said "We should do a guerilla video for that Chinese New Year joint I recorded with C Infamous in Hong Kong". I shoot a couple What's App messages to Rice Rick of AFO RADIO. Rick says "Chinese New Year, it's a busy time" Ok, we do it in 24 hours, in and out of KL. Tickets are bought and the rest is...88 vibes.

Some people go through the motions, doing what they do. Some people feel it, love it, seek it and grow it.
